June 20

We went to Zion National Park. It was a very hot day at 104 degrees. We did three hikes.
The first hike was the Emerald pools hike (1.8 mile round trip.) This hike take you to three emerald pools, the lower, middle and (yep you guessed it) the upper. This is a great hike although I'd have enjoyed it more if it had been a cooler day.
The next hike was the easiest hike ever. The River walk hike is nearly a flat 1 mile hike along the river. David wanted to do the continued hike to the narrows, but I said no. It's a hike in the river with spots being chest deep. I can't swim and thought this not my thing. Besides...why give Ashleigh yet another reason to whine.
The third hike was to the Weeping Rock (1/2 mile round trip). This is another easy hike, even Ashleigh said "that wasn't bad at all."

Zion was gorgous...It's hard to put into words the beauty of the cliffs and canyons. It's more something you need to experience.
